"If you are convinced that who you are at the deepest level is one with God then all of the trials and tribulations of life will not bother you; they cannot touch you at the deepest level." – Meister Eckhart, medieval German theologian & mystic

Beautiful posting Bro Daniel. I’ve been following your faith journey since ‘Queen of Peace’. May the Queen of Peace keep you under her mantle. The Blessed Mother has been instrumental in my own incremental re-version to my cradle faith. Currently busy with bringing to local cinemas::
* divinemercyfilm
* Apparition Hill
* All that remains

My wife and family are my grounding. Fr Kolbe….such an example of selfless love. This is beautifully portrayed in the piece.
Please pray for my personal discernment / intrusive calls.

Thank you so much for this great comment, and for following my faith journey for these past few years. I appreciate it greatly, and am so happy that you are organizing to bring those films to the local theaters. I saw Apparition Hill and was blown away by what a powerful documentary it was. Well said, Fr. Kolbe is such an example of selfless love; he is probably my model of a Franciscan; truly; if I can come even remotely close to emulating his devotion to Our Lady I will be happy. I will pray for you, and you pray for me! – Bro. Daniel

DEFEAT HIM IN BATTLE

"Dear children! Today I call you especially now to advance against Satan by means of prayer. Satan wants to work still more now that you know he is at work. Dear children, PUT ON THE ARMOR FOR BATTLE AND WITH THE ROSARY IN YOUR HAND DEFEAT HIM! Thank you for having responded to my call." - the Queen of Peace, Our Lady, August 8, 1985
